Chapter 609: Exodia Is Coming!
Exodia was well-known to everyone in the world of duel monsters. Regardless of modern times or ancient times, anyone who played cards must have heard of the name of this guy.
Exodia was also known as "the Legendary Defender of Egypt". Only five of its parts needed to be collected in the player's hand at the same time to forcibly rewrite the victory rules of this game and win the duel from the rules level.
As mentioned before, the strength of the effect of the cards in Duel Monsters directly reflected the strength of the monster spirit. The stronger the effect, the stronger the spirit.
If we used this criterion, Exodia, who could forcibly rewrite the rules of the game and directly achieve victory, was undoubtedly equivalent to god-level strength among duel monster spirits in all dimensions.
Given his tyrannical strength, the great evil god Zorc despised almost all spirits. But when he saw the lone head appearing in Simon's field, and the momentum that could not be concealed even though it was sealed, even Zorc couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Fortunately, Simon didn't attack the five elders and gave him a good second. Otherwise, if he hadn't lost to Yugi or to Yuei Vu, and he would have been beaten by a mere NPC in this RPG, the great evil god would be really ashamed and never had the courage to meet anyone ever again.
Of course, under this worldview, it was practically impossible to start with five parts of Exodia.
Even if the protagonists and villains in the animation used a partial deck with only one core monster and the rest were all spells and traps, people have never seen anyone get a brick hand.
Especially for those final BOSSes, the whole deck had only three cards which were used over and over again, and the starting hand had to rely on the combination of a few fixed cards to start, but they could always touch it every time they started, relied on the high Duelist Rank to bully the opponent.
But even so, among all the big shots including the first-generation grandmaster of divine draw Yugi Muto no one has ever accumulated all the parts of "Exodia" purely by luck in the first two rounds.
The reason was also very simple, Exodia was too strong.
There was a reason that Exodia was called "The Forbidden One". The duel itself was actually a ceremonial process, a fighting ceremony to lift the seal. During the duel, trying to gather five sleeping Exodia parts from the deck was itself a ritual.
Although the character Amon in "Yu-Gi-Oh GX" has acquired the entire deck of Exodia, he still had to go through a duel to lift the seal. In the process, he even had to sacrifice the soul of his most beloved person before this powerful ancient mage would come.
Exodia was absolutely invincible, as long as it was unsealed in a duel, it would bring the victory of the controller. But for duelists, the biggest difficulty was actually the process of lifting the seal. If your LP returned to zero before the ritual could be completed, it would all be in vain.
The more powerful a spirit was, the higher the cost of appearing.
It was precisely because he understood this that Bakura calmed down quickly and revealed a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Humph, Exodia? Interesting." He licked his lips, "Old guy, you successfully attracted my attention. It seems that you are indeed an opponent worth fighting. But"
He paused, narrowed his eyes, and sneered softly.
"With your old bones, can you really support Exodia's appearance?"
Simon still ignored him. The old man received the stone slab with the head of "Exodia" sealed in his hand, then continued to cast the spell.
"Hereby calls with magic, the weapon of the magician Wonder Wand!"
Wonder Wand (Equip Spell): Equip only to a Spellcaster monster. It gains 500 ATK. If you control the equipped monster and this card: You can send both to the GY; and draw 2 cards.
There was only one monster on Simon's field, so the wand was naturally equipped to the Witch of the Black Forest. The witch closed her eyes tightly, and her slender white hand reached out from under her wide black-sleeved robe. She gently held the staff, and her magic power increased.
[Witch of the Black Forest, ATK 1100 ATK 1600]
"I activate the hidden magic of Wonder Wand!" Simon continued, "By sacrificing the witch and the wand together, I can obtain two new slabs!"
The witch and the wand both turned into golden light and dissipated. The golden light spots in the sky paused briefly in mid-air and then condensed into heavy stone slabs, which crashed down with a muffled sound.
"Witch of the Black Forest will also trigger magical abilities when entering the cemetery!"
Witch of the Black Forest: When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, you can add 1 monster with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand.
If the defense power was below 1500, then the monster Simon wanted to choose here was of course
"The slab I want to call is"
Numerous iron chains shot out from the void, and a huge stone slab was hanging from the sky.
" Right Arm of the Forbidden One'!"
Seeing the opponent drew so many cards in two rounds, recovered an "Exodia the Forbidden One" from the graveyard, and accurately retrieved a "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" from the deck, even the Great Evil God Zorc couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this time.
After drawing two cards and accurately searching Exodia's right arm, Simon's hand will reach a terrifying seven cards. Facing Exodia without seeing the contents of the opponent's hand at all was very terrifying.
Bakura's mentality at this moment was a bit like walking a tightrope. He seemed to have felt that the death was hanging invisibly above his head. The powerful momentum was so overwhelming that it was breathless. It was not surprising that a move would suddenly come out every moment and kill him for a second.
Bakura couldn't hold it any longer. At the moment when the effect of "Witch of the Black Forest" was activated and the "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" was about to join Simon's hand, he chained it with a big wave of his hand.
"Open the set card: Trap Card Multiple Destruction!" (animated card)
Bakura narrowed his eyes and hummed: "This card can only be activated when both players have three or more cards in their hands. Both players discard all cards in their hands, and receive 100 points of damage for each card discarded this way. After that, we each draw five cards from the deck.
Hey, I don't know how many Exodia parts you've got, but at least one of them is Exodia the Forbidden One', right? Please throw them all away! "
Priest Simon's face changed slightly, and he looked at Bakura in surprise with a somewhat cold gaze.
This Bandit Kinghas such a strong survival instinct!
The timing of Bakura's "Multiple Destruction" was really perfect.
Because at this moment, the number of "Exodia" parts in Simon's hand has reached four!
Exodia the Forbidden One, left arm, left leg, and right leg, all four parts have been gathered in his hands.
Now Simon only needed to finish processing the effect of "Witch of the Black Forest" and add the last remaining "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" from the deck to his hand. At that moment, the ultimate seal would be lifted, and the invincible Exodia would appear. By that time, no matter how powerful Zorc was, he would not be able to escape the sanction of the Legendary Defender of Egypt.
Priest Simon was famous for controlling Exodia when he was young, and his strength was indeed powerful. Being able to gather the five parts of Exodia in just two rounds was already proud enough for a summoner.
It's a pity that there was only one last step left.
Despite his helplessness, the old priest could only watch the four slabs of the Egyptian envoys disappear one by one in front of him, dissipating along with the other two cards in his hand.
[Simon, LP 3100 LP 2500]
Bakura, LP 4000 LP 3700
The six cards were discarded to the graveyard, and five new cards replaced them. Then the effect of "Witch of the Black Forest" continued to resolve, and the "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" stone slab fell from the air to Simon's side.
It's a pity that it's already one step behind. The other four stone slabs of Exodia had already entered the cemetery, and now he only had the last one left in his hand.
However, this old priest's strength was not limited to this.
"Sure enough, you won't let me defeat you so easily." Simon snorted, "It's expected. Then summon the Right Arm of the Forbidden One'!"
The iron chain was hanging from the stone slab and fell, and the chain rubbed against the surface of the slate making a clear rattling sound. A golden magic circle emerged, and a right hand suddenly emerged from the magic circle and stayed on the field.
[Right Arm of the Forbidden One, ATK 200]
"Hey, is your brain broken?" Bakura sneered, "What's the point of summoning Exodia parts?"
Could it be that the old man was really angry because the unsealing ceremony was destroyed, but he decided to call the right hand to slap me?
But he soon knew the answer.
Simon closed his eyes and began to mutter something like an ancient spell.
Bakura: "?"
He began to have a bad feeling.
What is this summoning? Why does it look like a golden crispy chicken (The Winged Dragon of Ra)? Still want to recite a mantra?
Immediately afterward, Simon stared and raised his arms violently. A stone slab flew high into the air as if pulled by an invisible force.
"I use the Right Arm of the Forbidden One' as a sacrifice! The seal is lifted!
Show up, The Legendary Exodia Incarnate! ! ! "
